RDANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom radios or Icom chargers. Only Icom battery
packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios or
charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit
battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause
the battery to burst.
RWARNING! NEVER hold the radio so that the
antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the
body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.The radio
will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm away from
the lips and the radio is vertical.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the radio with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
The continuous high volume operation may cause a ringing
in your ears. If you experience the ringing, reduce the volume
level or discontinue use.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the radio while driving
a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything
less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and
battery pack are securely attached to the radio, and that
the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment.
Exposing the inside of the radio to water will result in serious
damage to the radio.
IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-
pletely before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This
instruction manual contains important operating instructions
for the IC-F4029SDR UHF TRANSCEIVER.

DO NOT operate the radio near unshielded electrical
blasting caps.
DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to
transmit.
DO NOT operate or place the radio in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C.
DO NOT modify the radio. The specifications may change
and then not comply with the requirements of a corresponded
regulation. The radio warranty does not cover any problems
caused by unauthorized modification.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the radio surfaces.
KEEP the transceiver from the heavy rain, and Never im-
merse it in the water. The transceiver construction is water
resistant, not waterproof.
BE CAREFUL!The radio will become hot when operating
it continuously for long periods of time.
Even when the radio power is OFF, a slight current still flows
in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries from
the radio when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the
installed battery pack or batteries will become exhausted,
and will need to be recharged or replaced.
MAKE SURE to turn OFF the radio power before connecting
or disconnecting the supplied/optional accessory.

nReceiving and transmitting
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
(P. 29)
Receiving:
qRotate [VOL] clockwise to turn the power ON.
wPush [Side2] (CH Up) or [Side3] (CH Down) to select the
desired operating channel. (pgs. 38, 39)
• Push (Zone) then push [Side2] (CH Up) or [Side3] (CH Down)
to select the desired zone, if required.
• Setting the CTCSS/DTCS tone code if required. (pgs. 16, 17)

listening level.
• “ ” appears when the matched CTCSS or DTCS code number
is received.
• When no transmission is heard, push and hold [Side1] (Moni)
while adjusting [VOL]. (Analog mode operation only)
The transceiver is now set to receive desired calls on the se-
lected channel.
Transmitting:
Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.
qWhile pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the micro-
phone at a normal voice level.
• “ ” and “ ” appears.
wRelease [PTT] to return to receive.
NOTE: To maximize the readability of your signal;
1. Pause briefly after pushing [PTT].
2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from
your mouth, then speak into the microphone at a normal
voice level.
ï Transmitting notes
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is in mute condition (‘Inaudible’ condition;
“” does not appear.)
- The channel is busy.
- Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
(Depending on the pre-setting.)
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
- Transmission is inhibited only while receiving a signal with
the signal strength is stronger than "RSSI L0 (-105 dBm)"
level including a matched Common ID.*
*Digital mode operation only.
• Time-out timer
After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time
period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver
to stop transmitting.
• Penalty timer
Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further
inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.
